Original Note:
"COVID" is the disease caused by the virus Sars-COV-2. There is no "New Covid", but a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, BA.2.86, has been in the US since August, 2023. The CDC agrees with the WHO that BA.2.86 poses low public risk and existing vaccines should protect against it. https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/whats-new/covid-19-variant-update-2023-11-27.html
